Merriam-Webster's Rhyming Dictionary, Second Edition, Trade Paperback

This book is amazing. I don’t know how I lived without it. As a writer it is invaluable.

Fabulous

Why on earth, Amazon, when I bought Merriam-Webster's RHYMING Dictionary, did you bundle in the reviews for the Collegiate Dictionary--and the hardcover as well as the Kindle Edition? I want to read the reviews of the item I bought, not all these others I did not buy. Most annoying!! I am happy with the Rhyming Dictionary, and I planned to write a review, but what is the point when people have to plow through 20 other reviews to find the ones for the Rhyming Dictionary? How hard would it be to separate them? I am seldom disappointed with Amazon, but this time I surely am. :-(

Fine

So I took a chance despite some reviews. Here's the thing that may be putting people off: It doesn't give you full words and list the rhymes. It gives you ending word SOUNDS and lists rhyming words! So if you are looking for "wash" you have to go to "ash". BTW, there are 3 entries for the different pronunciations for "ash". Or take "harmony" for example. I looked up "ony" and it referred me to "ani", which listed a few possibilities, then also referred me to "anny". And yes, it's "all vowels", including "y". There's a usage guide at the front, as well as pronunciations symbols. So you do have to do a little work to find what you're looking for, but can you imagine how enormous and redundant this would be if it listed everything out like a typical dictionary?!

This book is always out at our Walmart, Amazon never disappoints us. A great tool for song writing and poetry pieces.

Gyd

It took a few minutes for me to figure out how to use this dictionary, but now that I understand it, it's really easy to use. I recommend it.

good

Nice

数年前にこれのポケットバージョンを求め、見つからなくなったので印刷版とkindle両方とも求めました。英語の詩を書く時には絶対に必要です。日本語にも似たような辞書があれば嬉しいですがね。 The kindle version is very useful since the content part has a link leading to the word. The printed version comes in handy too, but it's much faster to search with kindle than paper. I had the paper version for several years already, and I must say that it's a must have for people who create poems for hobby or school.

There is no way to easily get to words that rhyme. The normal search that is suggested does not work. The reviews on Amazon.com on this book sure as hell do not refer to the rhyming dictionary, but to some standard dictionary. Also this book will not show up in your normal Kindle library; you will have to search for it each time to access it.

Das Buch ist genau was ich erwartet hatte. Gut aufgeteilt mit vielen Varianten Mehr gibt es nicht: es ist nur ein Wörterbuch
